Ontario Earth Defenders: Activist Training, Skillshare & Retreat

Join Greenpeace on September 27-29th 2013, for our third annual Earth Defenders Training and Skillshare!

Volunteers and community organizers in Ontario are invited to learn the basics on campaign strategy, civil disobedience and organizing in your community. We’ll give you skills to help mobilize and carry out your own actions.

This training is a great opportunity to meet others in the environmental and activist community, share your knowledge & experience, team build and strategize.

Together we can build a bigger, stronger movement to stop environmental destruction and social injustice.

Workshops include:

Campaign Strategy

How to work with the media

Building groups and growing support

Non-violent direct action and civil disobedience

The venue will be 1-2 hours outside of Toronto, near Orangeville. A bus from Toronto will be provided.

Cost: a suggested donation of $50 is asked to help pay for food and accommodation. Nobody will be turned away from lack of funds, so please do not let this be a barrier.
